I have a long weekend and needed to do some work on the ST. I have a 2004 w/ 38,120 miles. I purchased it w/ about 19,000. The previous owner, he was the 2nd owner, told me that the 16,000 valve service had been done by the original owner at 14,000. I' checked the valves and all except two exhaust are within spec. I'll list them below. What input would you have for those that are on the low side but still within specs? Would you change them or let them be?
Also, are there any gotchas that you would caution me about or look out for?
Here are my current valve clearencs:
#1
Exhaust .010 / .009
Intake .006 / .006
#3
Exhaust .008 / .008
Intake .006 / .006
#2
Exhaust .009 / .009
Intake .006 / .005
#4
Exhaust .009 / .010
Intake .005 / .006
Thanks for your input. Have a great Veteran's Day
